Education
Until September 2008, the district operated the three-tier education system, whereby there were three middle schools. Everyone in the district went to the same upper school in Melton from 14-18. At both GCSE and A level, the district's results are above the England average. Students can also attend Brooksby Melton College from 16-18, but it gets no better results but it is mainly a vocational further education college for practical skills.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“Casting an eye on the education of children, from whence I can make a judgment of my own, I observe they are instructed in religious matters before they can reason about them, and consequently that all such instruction is nothing else but filling the tender mind of a child with prejudices.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“The education of females has been exclusively directed to fit them for displaying to advantage the charms of youth and beauty. ... though well to decorate the blossom, it is far better to prepare for the harvest.”
—Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
